Episode 19: Tim MacWelch, Author and Outdoor Life Magazine Blogger

The team interviews survival expert Tim MacWelch. Among other things, the team discusses Tim’s New York Times best selling book How to Survive Anything. Tim’s book alphabetically details threats from A – Z and explains how survivalists can overcome these challenges. Of particular note, the team discusses threat Z: zombies. While our experts find a zombie threat highly implausible, they discuss the cultural and social relevance of zombies. On a metaphorical level, they may represent desperate or unprepared individuals. In a way, they represent ethically devolved people. What do zombies tell us about our nature? What would you do for your children? In a nature devoid of law, how savage can humanity become? However you view human nature, it is better to be prepared than not.
